Contacts with approx. 20 partner higher education institutions all over the world; Cooperative study programmes with Qingdao University of Science in China.

Extensive high-quality technical equipment is available in many research areas (automotive technology, plastics technology, process technology, product development, construction and drive technology, materials and joining technology, control technology, etc.), which is not only used for research purposes, but also in student internships. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering also has its own central workshop where it can manufacture many parts itself.
